Comptroller - Tax Auditor I - III Los Angels Audit Office
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive.
We need to be careful not to omit any details like "Military preference" etc. That is substantive but maybe not fit into sections; we could include under Requirements or Qualifications? It's about military preference documentation. Could be part of Requirements (maybe as a note). But the instruction says to include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. Military preference is specific content; we could include under a section like "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings. Since we limited to those headings, we could fold it into Requirements or Qualifications as a note. But we must not lose it. Perhaps we can include a
under Requirements about military preference.
Similarly, the note about "Applications Submitted Through Work In Texas" etc. That's procedural; maybe we can drop as it's application instructions (should be removed). The instruction says remove application instructions. So we can drop that.
Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The EEO statement at end is boilerplate; remove.
Also remove "Click here to see an inside look at the Texas Comptroller's office" link; that's navigation; remove.
Also remove "Click on the occupational category for the position." etc.
Also remove "The Comptroller's Office is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace..." that's EEO; remove.
Also remove "Resumes will not be accepted in lieu of completed applications." etc (application instructions). Remove.
Also remove "The application must contain the necessary information in the work history for the applicant to qualify for the position." etc.
Also remove "An applicant must be eligible to work in the United States..." etc (maybe considered boilerplate but it's substantive eligibility requirement; could be under Requirements). Might keep as requirement.
We need to preserve all substantive information; eligibility to work in US is substantive. So we can include under Requirements.
Now let's craft sections.
About the role: Paragraph(s) describing role and agency culture.
We have: "Innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence best describes the culture here at the Comptroller's Office. We take pride in the work we do serving as Texas' accountant, tax collector, treasurer, and much more! The Comptroller's office serves virtually every citizen in the state. As Texas' chief tax collector, accountant, revenue estimator, treasurer and purchasing manager, the agency is responsible for writing the checks and keeping the books for the multi-billion-dollar business of state government. Our agency workforce is as diverse as the people of Texas we serve. We value our employees and take very seriously our collective commitment to public service. Personal development opportunities are strongly encouraged through available workshops, teambuilding exercises, and on the job training. We offer flexible scheduling that helps employees maintain a healthy work-life balance." That's more about benefits/culture but could be About the role.
Also: "About The Division The Audit Division employs Tax Auditors nationwide. Tax Compliance is the Audit Division's primary focus. We strive to increase tax reporting accuracy and to promote greater voluntary compliance for the state of Texas. As a Tax Auditor for the Comptroller's office, you'll join a bright, forward-thinking agency where a strong work ethic affects and enriches Texans' lives every single day. We'll provide you with challenging work to help strengthen your skills and encourage your professional growth. This position is one of public trust and requires a high degree of confidentiality in handling all taxpayer records, services, audits and/or transactions. In-office work is required for the first six months while you complete Basic Audit Training that requires an overall training grade of 75 or above. Employees will be required to travel approximately every 3 weeks to training centers in Austin, Dallas, or Houston. Teleworking is permitted after the initial six months of training, per Audit Division's policies. Travel reimbursement is provided for business needs. All auditors are required to attend yearly audit training, which has been approved by the Texas CPA Association and counts towards Continuing Professional Education Credit for those who are Certified Public Accountants. Candidates who meet the minimum requirements, or who will meet the requirements by the start date, may apply for a Tax Auditor I position. Candidates who have experience in full-time tax auditing with private, state, or other local government agencies may also apply. Salary and the entry level position will be commensurate based on knowledge of Texas tax law and tax compliance auditing experience on a case-by-case basis. Los Angeles: $6,191.25 - $7,491.25 Tax Auditor I - $6,191.25 Tax Auditor II - $6,810.42 Tax Auditor III - $7,491.25"
That's a lot; we can split: About the role includes division description and role expectations; Responsibilities list; Requirements includes qualifications, licenses, eligibility; Benefits includes personal development, flexible scheduling, travel reimbursement, yearly audit training, teleworking after six months; Pay includes salary numbers; Schedule includes in-office first six months, travel every 3 weeks, teleworking after.
We must avoid duplication: Some content appears in multiple places; we need to ensure we don't repeat same info across sections unnecessarily, but we can include where appropriate.
Let's draft.
